Versatile Technical Skills: Your proficiency in both frontend technologies such as React, pure JavaScript, and TypeScript, as well as backend technologies like Node.JS, will enable you to navigate the entire technology stack with ease. Legacy Code Transformation: We need your ability to re-think, re-architecture, and refactor the legacy components of our codebase, ensuring that Box Notes remains efficient, scalable, and adaptable.

• Ever worked with Docker, Jenkins or handled pipeline work? That's some cool bonus points right there!
• You speak English like a boss, so no language barriers when we brainstorm together!
• You're on a mission to solve problems, regardless of the technology involved. Many of the challenges we encounter demand a "software engineer" mindset, transcending the typical frontend/backend developer approach.
